My experience is that there are so many moving parts in the 
haskell.org web environment that testing for failure points is 
difficult. That said...

My suspicion has been that there are a couple web-launched operations 
that consume massive memory (and perhaps i/o) resources, often enough 
to bring even well-behaved hardware like abbot to its knees.

Speaking of abbot, please keep me in the loop concerning its future. 
There are some Galois-specific configuration bits I'll want to remove 
or replace prior to, say, a trip down to the Open Source Lab in 
Corvallis.
